How to Remove Snaps from Ubuntu 24.04
**LANGUAGE WARNING**
I dropped the F bomb a couple of times. If that offends you move on to some other video.
You all totally missed the point of my last video. You were thinking I was praising snaps. I was not. I said a lot of the hate that snaps get is not true and the vast majority of Ubuntu's users do not care about snaps. In this video I explain how you missed the point and why.
I also explain how easy it is to remove snaps entirely if you feel you must use Ubuntu but hate snaps.
Of course, obviously easiest solution is to just use a different distro that doesnt have snap. But if you do that, then what would you have to complain about?
Commands from the video:
snap list
sudo snap remove --purge snap-name
Do these last
sudo snap remove --purge snapd
sudo apt remove --autoremove snapd
Then block snapd by creating a file at /etc/apt/preferences.d/nosnap.pref Use what ever text editor you lke. Im using vim.
sudo vim /etc/apt/preferences.d/nosnap.pref
Add this to that file:
# To prevent repository packages from triggering the installation of snap,
# this file forbids snapd from being installed by APT.
Package: snapd
Pin: release a=*
Pin-Priority: -10
